    Thumbs up Compacting List for Drop Downs

    Hi Group

    I have 2 small table of products with blank rows or cells between tables.


    I want to take this list and compact it for drop down cell options in another section of document.

    How to compact tables - See example?

    Pepe Le Mokko and others

    Re-assessed your example with my example worksheet

    I see the function searches for "Product"

    In my actual table - It has multiple name variations

    I attached updated file example

    Try this:

    =FILTER(C36:D51,(B36:B51<>"")*(D36:D51<>""))
